The lyrics to ‘I Wanna Be That Feeling,’ Bucky Covington‘s new single on the rise, were penned by two of Nashville’s most successful tunesmiths, Ben Hayslip and Jimmy Yeary. “This is one of those songs that laid around for a long time,” Hayslip admits to Taste of Country of the single.

Who is ready for more music from Chuck Wicks? Well, Chuck Wicks, for one. But new music isn’t the only thing on his radar. In addition to writing for his own forthcoming second studio album, the singer will also have a cut on the new Jason Aldean project, slated for release in October.

Carrie Underwood has returned back to the States following a handful of performances throughout Australia and the United Kingdom on her Blown Away Tour — and her appearances went very well. The superstar’s visit was well documented, too, as she took to her Twitter page daily to update her fans on all the exciting attractions she encountered between performances.

It seems unlikely that Lady Antebellum would have time to write while out on the road, but the lyrics to ‘Wanted You More’ — their current hit single — were written under those conditions. The tune was born during soundcheck with their backing bandmates, Jason “Slim” Gambill, Matt Billingslea, Jonathan Long and Dennis Edwards, who were all credited on the song.

Sara Evans may have missed out on contributing to the ‘Anywhere’ lyrics (her latest single), but she is not complaining one bit after snagging the tune for her latest album. The soon-to-be-hit was crafted by new songwriter on the rise, Jaren Johnston and Evans’ brother, Matt Evans.

When it came time to book his opening acts for his Virtual Reality Tour, Brad Paisley took a chance on one of country music’s hottest newcomers, Scotty McCreery. McCreery, who was fresh off his ‘American Idol’ win when he accepted the kind offer, says the experience thus far has been nothing short of amazing.

There is no denying that Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney keep pretty fit. And given that both of the country music icons are in their mid-40s, opening act Jake Owen is in awe of the shape his Brothers of the Sun touring partners are in.

Luke Bryan is spending his second straight week at No. 1 with his latest hit single, ‘Drunk on You.’ The tune topped the charts last week, becoming the singer’s fifth career No. 1, and is now officially a multi-week chart-topper.

In a recent interview with People Country, Miranda Lambert breaks down the inspiration behind the ‘Over You’ lyrics, her most recent chart-topping hit.

Jake Owen is loving everything life has been bringing him lately. Where shall we start? Two consecutive No. 1 singles, a beautiful new wife, a prime slot opening for Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney on the Brothers of the Sun Tour… the list goes on and on.
